A post - bop masterpiece from the American jazz legend Charles Mingus. Originally recorded in 1959, Mingus Ah Um was influenced by Mingus' musical predecessors. It was his debut for Columbia and showcases all his talents. This album is incredibly diverse. 'Better Get It in Your Soul' offers spiritual ecstasy with gospel shouts, while 'Fables of Faubus' mocks segregationist Arkansas governor Orval Faubus. 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' is a tribute to the late saxophonist Lester Young, and 'Boogie Stop Shuffle' has an aggressive swing. Mingus also pays homage to jazz greats Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton. With nine tracks, it's nearly the definitive Mingus album. Released by Jazz Wax Records on 180 - gram virgin vinyl. It's a limited pressing, newly remastered, and comes with deluxe inner sleeves. Featuring Charles Mingus and other great musicians, this is a must - have for jazz fans.
